LFR CHASSIS
PRIMED FOR GROWTH IN 2015
Successful First Year for
Modified and Super Late Model Manufacturer |
 The
first year for LFR Chassis has been more than
expected for owner Rob Fuller and the
Mooresville-based team. The company, which
manufactures modified and super late model chassis,
earned five wins in 2014 and multiple podium
finishes in both divisions.
“This has really been a great year for this
organization,” said Rob Fuller, owner of LFR
Chassis. “I’m very pleased that these cars are
winning right out of the gate. Burt Myers won in
only his third start with his new LFR Chassis. We
strive to offer our customers the best craftsmanship
and performance in the industry.”
Three past champions have driven the new LFR
modified chassis this year and all were very pleased
with the experience.
Burt Myers, 2010 NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified
Tour champion, was the first to secure a win for LFR
Chassis.
“The performance speaks for itself,” said Myers.
“This car has so much adjustability in it and the
craftsmanship is there; it’s built really well. This
car comes race ready. You basically bolt it together
and its ready to go. You don’t have to make a lot of
updates like you do with other chassis.”
Todd Szegedy, the 2003 NWMT champion, drove the No.
15 LFR Chassis in multiple NASCAR Whelen Modified
Tour races this season and secured a season-best
second place finish at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
“The chassis feels well-balanced and it responds
very well to adjustments,” said Szegedy. “The
biggest difference I noticed is how well it responds
to adjustments. Also, the car drives well on the
throttle. When you pick up on the throttle it
rotates without being free and turns very well off
the corners. That’s important because you want a car
to be able to cut and driver underneath guys without
being free.”
“Every time we raced that car we were a contender to
win,” continued Szegedy. “Unfortunately, we had some
part failures in some races. But every time I drove
that car I felt I could win in it.”
The most recent champion to pilot a LFR Chassis was
Ron Silk, 2011 NWMT champion, who finished third in
the North-South Shootout at Caraway Speedway last
month.
“I thought the car really performed great,” said
Silk. “We would have had a better run in the
North-South Shootout but I got into someone early
and kind of messed up the nose. But as far as the
way it drove and in testing I was impressed with the
way it drove and I feel the LFR team will keep
making them better. This car seems to have more
forward drive than other cars I’ve raced in the past
and that’s certainly something you’re looking for.”
Following the solid performance on the track, the
shop has been expanded to add 5,000 square feet to
the facility in order to increase production. LFR
Chassis is expected to complete over 40 modified and
super late model cars by the end of the year,
marking a solid first year for the company.
Plans for the LFR Chassis North building in
Massachusetts are still moving forward. In the
interim, the company has partnered with a few shops
to hold inventory. In addition, a trailer has been
traveling from North Carolina up to the northeast
every two weeks on average to deliver cars and parts
directly to LFR customers.
In 2015, Fuller plans to have four Super Late Model
house cars and a few house modifieds to continue to
test and improve the design and performance of the
chassis.
LFR Chassis is located at 117 Crosslake Park Drive
in Mooresville, N.C. To learn more, call (704)
